Lavender Trip in Hokkaido｡o(^-^)o｡

I went to Hokkaido with my friend over the 3 day weekend.

The main purpose of our visit is "Lavender"!!

Though it made a short stay,

we enjoyed our trip to the full★(*^▽ﾟ)

The beautiful flowers,clear air and

a broad stretch of land healed

my body&soul☆ﾟ･*:.｡.☆ﾟ･*:.｡.☆,

and the delicious foods satisfied my body&mind(≧▽≦)!!

During our stay in Sapporo,

we could meet my friend in Sapporo.

The time we spent with her&her family

also flavored our trip♪

We visited Biei and Furano in Hokkaido.

Furano is famous for many kinds of flower gardens,

especially lavender gardens.

In season,the lavender gardens look like

purple carpets spread all over.

We walked around and look at some lavender gardens in Furano.

It was more beautiful than I would expect!!

Tthese flowers smell wonderfully sweet~~(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ




The wide expanse of flowers

as white as snow is a potato patch.
The hills in Biei have some mixed

patches of potato,wheat,beans,and so on,

so the hill in Biei is often called "Patchwork's Hill."

I heard many farmers never plant fields with the same crop

over and over to protect them from getting farmed out.

Anyway, the view was magnificent!!

We certainly enjoyed a lot of nature.

I really could spend some quality time♪♪

Pudding,Soft-cream,Corn and Sapporo beer~~

They was all very good(；∇；)!!

in Italyo(*'o'*)o.
What is "Associazione Verace Pizza Napolitana"?

There is nothing chemical seasoning in the pizza,
so you can enjoy more delicious taste by only raw material.
It's really delisious! It's just blissful pizza(*^Q^)!

We enjoy very good Napoli pizza &wine in the restaurant
filled with South Italy mood!!
I've never been this happy ☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆

*.:*:..Star Festival☆彡*.:*:.:

On July 7th the Japanese celebrate The Festival of the Star-based
on the romantic legend of Tanabata♪.
Paper wishes and origami decorations are hung from bamboo trees.
It's believed that the wishes come true☆(ﾟ∇ﾟ☆).

Tanabata originated more than 2,000 years ago
with an old Chiese tale called "kikkoden".
According to a chiese legend,Two Stars Altair&Vega,
which are usually separated from each other
by the Milky Way,are able to meet only once a year.

I heard an interesting story at the morning newsw(*ﾟoﾟ*)w.
In China, the rain of Tanabata means Orihime&Hikoboshi's tears of joy,
& the rain of the day after Tanabata means their tears of sad on the parting.

By the way....My family celebrate this day every year(*ﾟ∇ﾟ)!!
In this year,we got the big bamboo tree from the acquaintance
who has the bamboo field.
We wrote our wishes on tanzaku & hung them on bamboo branches.
We also hung many kinds of paper decorations on branches and placed
them outside our house in the hope the wishes become true･:*:･ﾟ★｡･:*:☆
The Tanabata night☆彡What do you wish
with looking up the Milky Way....!?
I wish Orihime&Hikoboshi meet(*ﾟｰﾟ*)☆
